Traditional methods rely on blast furnaces, which burn large amounts of coking coal to reduce iron ore, releasing substantial greenhouse gases. As governments impose stricter carbon reduction targets, steelmakers are under mounting pressure to find cleaner alternatives.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Green steel\u2019 refers to steel produced using processes that significantly lower CO\u2082 emissions. This includes using hydrogen as a reducing agent, direct electrification, and the growing adoption of electric arc furnace (EAF) technology. Unlike blast furnaces, EAFs use electricity to melt scrap metal, bypassing the need for raw iron ore and significantly cutting carbon emissions.<\/p>\n<p>Scrap metal has emerged as a key player in this transformation. Recycling scrap steel requires up to 74% less energy compared to producing steel from raw materials. It also drastically reduces CO\u2082 emissions, with studies showing that using one ton of scrap steel can save nearly 1.5 tons of CO\u2082. Moreover, steel is infinitely recyclable without losing its properties, making it one of the most sustainable materials available. By increasing the share of scrap in steel production, industries can make significant strides toward net-zero targets, while also reducing reliance on mining-intensive virgin iron ore.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.recycling-magazine.com\/2025\/03\/18\/green-steel-why-scrap-metal-is-key-to-cutting-co%e2%82%82\/\">Recycling Magazine<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/5-690\/\">Green steel: why scrap metal is key to cutting CO\u2082<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[703,575,18267,5078],"class_list":["post-138370","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-emissions","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-scrap-metal","tag-steel"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/138370","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=138370"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/138370\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=138370"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=138370"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=138370"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
